How We Do It

"IN THE FEDERAL government market place, the company that pre-sells the deal is the company that wins the deal! Therefore, be the best prepared company that you can be by posturing your company for victory by minimizing or even eliminating the competition ahead of time. This is the true way ahead for your company and its products and services." - Scott Sekerak, CEO and Founder, The Ovid Group, Inc.

"NOW THE GENERAL who wins a battle makes many calculations . . . ere the battle is fought . . . . The general who loses a battle makes but few calculations beforehand. Thus do many calculations lead to victory, and few calculations to defeat: how much more no calculation at all! It is by attention to this point that I can foresee who is likely to win or lose."  - Sun Tze, The Art of War.

"IF YOU KNOW your enemies and know yourself, you will not be imperiled in a hundred battles; if you do not know your enemies but do know yourself, you will win one and lose one; if you do not know your enemies nor yourself, you will be imperiled in every single battle."  - Sun Tze, The Art of War.

About the Name of the Company
The Ovid Group's name is inspired by the Roman poet Publius Ovidius Naso (March 20, 43 BC – 17 AD), who is known to the English-speaking world as Ovid. Ovid was major inspiration for Dante Alighieri, Geoffrey Chaucer, William Shakespeare, and John Milton. Ovid's most famous work, The Metamorphoses (8 AD), is an epic poem that draws on Greek Mythology and takes as its subject "forms changed into new bodies." It is our best classical source for 250 myths and its influence on European literature and art some argue surpasses Homer.
